GO EPHS!!!

As a Williams alum (1990) with a degree in German Studies, I couldn't agree more with Big Ed.

In retrospect, I sometimes wish I could take my 38 yo mind and go back to undergrad and do it all again...er...the classes I mean.

Except for accounting, finance and statistics, I felt it gave me a real advantage when I was getting my MBA.

Upon graduation my classmates went into the following areas:
-- Investment Banking, etc.
-- Grad school => MBA, PhD
-- Teaching/Coaching at private schools
-- Artists/Writers, etc.

It was a great experience, except for the chicks. (isn't it always the deciding factor)

They were kind of stand-offish, not very friendly, and didn't really smile. It made the weekend trips to Smith much more fun.

My dad also went to Williams in the mid '60s when it was single sex and the fraternities used to bus women in from the surrounding colleges. There was never any homework on the weekends because...well you know.

BTW, it turned co-ed in 1969. Go figure.

We had a little saying about the women:

Smith to bed,
Wellesley to wed,
You can m(M)ount Holyoke,
but only talk to Williams

I think that pretty much sums it all up.
